~~SUMMARY~~
Lillian Locke had the perfect life in Boulder, Colorado. She had the boyfriend of her dreams, a wonderful family, awesome friends, and a spot on the track team at a great college. There wasn’t anything life could throw at her that she couldn’t get through . . . until he found her. Lillian never could have imagined being abducted and chained up in the dark. Worse yet, being just one of many girls kidnapped and held captive by a madman. All she can do now is hope that she survives the brutality of their captor long enough to find a way to free herself and her new captive friends. When Richard Haines’ girlfriend goes missing, he makes it his personal mission to find the woman he loves and bring her home to the safety of their loved ones. Seeking the help of friends and family, Richard abandons everything except for his pursuit of Lillian. But when someone else close to Richard goes missing, and the bodies of the abducted girls start showing up in the hills outside Boulder, the only thing he can do is hope that he finds her before it is too late.

***Warning: This novel contains dark themes and violence***
This story blew my mind away! I loved, loved, loved this book!!
I had previously read a different version of this story, and was so happy to learn Kris Thompson was going to publish this book. I wasn’t sure what to expect, since it's Thompson’s first book, but let me tell you; it was superb!
This crime-thriller had me on an emotional roller coaster. I felt sadness, worrisome, fearfulness, and relief.
For Thompson to evoke all these emotions from me, through Lillian and Richard's journey, had me not wanting to put my book down. It was incredible.
Lillian, a.k.a. Lee, was abducted and was so strong through it all. Not just physically, but mentally, as well. She was so selfless; she was a much more better person than I.
This isn't only Lee's story, either. What the other women who were taken go through, was a huge part of the story as well.
And let's not forget Richard, Lee's boyfriend. He and both their family members go through hell, trying to find Lee too.
Also, when one of the family members lands up missing as well, they need to find the abductor NOW, more than ever.
Kris Thompson knocked it out of the park with Black Rose and I give it 5 stars!

~~Praise for Black Rose~~
"There are just not enough words to describe how great I thought this book was! I completed it in one sitting, refused sleep till I was finished.
A psychotic killer is abducting women, holding them hostage for days and days while raping and torturing and killing in a most horrendous way. Except you know this by reading the back of the book. What you dont know is the story inside...there is so much more."
